Poem
I PROMISE I promise from this day forward, To always be as open with you as you are with me. I promise to always consider your feelings, As you consider mine. I promise to make your welfare my first concern, Just as you make mine yours; And I promise to love and honor you, For as long as you will love and honor me. Please do not ask me to be obedient, For I am not your servant. Do not ask me to be perfect, For I am only human; And do not ask me to be what you think I should be, For I am not you, and can never be. I can only be what God has made me, A separate personality, And essentially different from you in every way. I have different ideas and different ways from you. That does not make me wrong, Just different. Accept me, love me, honor me, And I will reply in kind. Judy Ball People often wonder what went wrong in a marriage. The answer is simple. They forgot to accept each other as individuals and started thinking of each other as mere extensions of themselves. They get angry and resentful because their mate, their "other half" can't read their mind or does not agree with everything they say or do. They lose respect for each other as individuals with feelings of their own. Remember: Marriage is like a bank account. If you don't put anything into it you can't take anything out.
